First of all I want to thank all of you for all the help with my transom and engine problem (firing on one cylinder), couldnt have done it without your help. I went to the water with very high hopes Sunday afternoon, the boat had no leaks, started and ran fine, until I put it in gear, then it would bog and die when I tried to apply throttle. Ran fine at home w/ muffs on while I went through the linkages and timing adjustments. A little history: I have done the following to the engine.<br /> 1) replaced power pack 2) replaced all three coils (just to get the best spark I could) 3) replaced impeller and thermostat 4) adjusted all linkages and timing going strictly by the book . 5) checked fuel filter 6) replaced all fuel lines from motor connection all the way to all three lines supplying carbs. All this done before putting in the water. Could my mistake be that I used muffs when setting idle and timing adjustments in stead of putting in a tub? Primer bulb stays hard. also have water exiting out of two about 1/2 inch holes at the rear of engine just below bottom of engine cowling. I think this is an exhaust, not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated. Chuck B.
